What’s hot

Outdoor Cinema. Today from 5.30pm. The Arts Centre, Worcester Blvd, central Christchurch.

The second of two outdoor cinema events at the restored Arts Centre of Christchurch, sponsored by Leighs Construction. A screening of Arthur Christmas will charm the little ones from 5.30pm, followed by Love Actually at 8pm, perhaps the most iconic festive movie of recent times. Entry by gold-coin donation, with food and drink available from stalls. Come early to secure a spot on the lawn.

Odyssey music event. Tomorrow from 4.30pm. Redzone land, 116 New Brighton Rd, Burwood.

Touted as a unique musical experience, this dance party is on red-zoned land in Christchurch’s east. Featuring Jupiter Project and a range of Kiwi and international DJs, expect strobe lights and holograms, wild dancing and bright clothing.

Osmosis Dance Party. Tomorrow from 10pm. Lichfield Courtyard, 150 Lichfield St.

Kicking off a new public space in the city centre is Osmosis. Essentially, it’s a rave in a courtyard, featuring 15 artists across four zones, surrounded by bars and eateries. Not one for the faint-hearted, this will roll into the wee hours. Expected to wrap up around 3am.
